Improving local government funding by removing certain sales and use tax exemptions.

Summary

The measure amends Washington’s sales‑tax statutes to eliminate local‑tax exemptions for a list of products and services, leaving only the state‑level exemption where it already exists. It targets municipalities and counties that rely on the local share of the sales tax, aiming to improve their fiscal health. The change is presented as a response to longstanding reports of local‑government funding shortfalls.
